Naya Rivera reveals the moment she walked in on Ariana Grande with her then-fiancé Big Sean.

Naya Rivera's new memoir, Sorry Not Sorry,is full of juicy antics behind the scenes of Glee that are even more juicy than the show itself. In a story way more interesting than Glee's Finn-Quinn-Puck love triangle, Rivera revealed that she once caught Ariana Grande at her then-fiancé Big Sean's house. As it turned out, in-reality-slightly-larger-than-average Sean went on to date Grande after his engagement with Rivera was called off.

Rivera detailed the story, which sounds like it could a verse in Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me."

"We'd been fighting for five straight days while he was traveling, and then on the one day that he was back in L.A., he said he didn't want to see me,” she explained, “Well, a--hole, I've got a key to your house.'"

Oh shiiiiiiiiiii.

"I walk in, go downstairs, and guess what little girl is sitting cross-legged on the couch listening to music? … It rhymes with ‘Smariana Schmande.’”

Rivera was with Big Sean from March 2013 until April 2014, and they even planned to wed.

Grande then went on to date Medium Sean right away, and "Seanriana" lasted eight months.

Rivera says that she found out about the end of her relationship just like everyone else did—from the internet.

“I learned that I was no longer getting married from the internet, and at the same time as the rest of the world," Rivera writes in Sorry Not Sorry, after Big Sean's publicist put out a statement, "Not only were we no longer getting married, but apparently we weren’t even together anymore.”

She went on to marry her husband Ryan Dorsey three months later in July 2014, in the same ceremony she had planned for her and Big Sean. Rivera and Dorsey have a young son, Josey.

Your move, Smariana.

We hope you've got a tissue nearby, because you're going to need it for this one. More than 400 students gathered last week outside the home of Ben Ellis, a teacher at their Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, TN, who is battling cancer.

Singer Tim McGraw discovered video of the moving tribute, and posted it to his Facebook page.

a friend sent this to me today. Ben Ellis is a Nashville area high school teacher battling cancer. The entire student body (400+ students plus HS faculty) drove to his house to worship with him. Our thoughts and Prayers are with him and his family..... So precious and kind.

Posted by Tim McGraw on Saturday, September 10, 2016

Nate Morrow, headmaster of the school, told ABC News:

It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my entire life... He is one of the kindest and intentionally loving people I've ever met in my life... I think that's what really characterizes him. He's always pursuing other people in wanting to get to know them and love them.

Ellis has been teaching at the school since 2008 and was diagnosed with cancer last year.

How did he feel about the students gesture? Ellis told ABC News:

In that moment, I felt like I was not alone.

Oh, what's that spill on the ground? Just our melted hearts. Get well soon Mr. Ellis, there are students waiting for your triumphant return.

Mom posts hilarious text exchange after daughter finally finds drug store's hidden tampons.

Mother and blogger Belinda Hankins posted a hilarious text conversation she had with her 13-year-old daughter, Bella, as she tried to tell her where to find tampons in the drug store. As all women know and Bella quickly found out, drug stores like to hide tampons away in weird places. It's like a treasure hunt for your basic necessities. Fun!

After an exhausting search emphasized by liberal use of the caps lock button, Hankins' daughter finally located the tampons, tucked away in an unlabeled corner.

Luckily for all of us, Hankins' kid consented to posting the conversation on Facebook.

Yes. Not only is this kid bent on screwing the patriarchy, but she also DREW A MAP OF WHERE TO FIND THE TAMPONS. This girl is living proof that not all teens are horrible monsters.

Also, this map should be hanging in all stores.

Ryan Seacrest is reportedly dating Adriana Lima, so never give up on your dreams.

Ryan Seacrest and model Adriana Lima are officially a couple, according to E! News (although neither of them has actually confirmed it yet and no paperwork seems to have been filed).

They met at the Rio Olympics and clearly hit it off, as evidenced by their Instagram dates (just pretend model Alessandra Ambrosio isn't there), and were supposedly spotted on a dinner date recently in New York.

Don't touch my brigadeiro! At confeitaria Colombo. 👀 Não divido meu brigadeiro na Confeitaria Colombo. 🙈

While they haven't said anything publicly about being together, Lima did call Seacrest "charismatic-handsome" in an Instagram post, so clearly she's into him.

Good for them! How heart-warming and inspiring it is when two attractive people can get together like this.

Especially when one of them is a gorgeous Brazilian model and the other is the human version of a toothpaste commercial.

Here's how Obama's female staffers made sure their voices were heard.

When Obama first entered office (you remember, back before hope was dead), nearly all of his top staffers were men who had worked on his campaign: Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Lawrence Summers, and others (Valerie Jarrett is a notable exception).

The women in the White House, including Susan Rice and Anita Dunn, quickly realized that they weren't always being included in important meetings and worried their voices weren't being heard. Instead of just leaning in harder, they started doing something called "amplification," an anonymous aide told the Washington Post.

Here's how the Post describes "amplification":

When a woman made a key point, other women would repeat it, giving credit to its author. This forced the men in the room to recognize the contribution — and denied them the chance to claim the idea as their own.

It worked.

Obama noticed the trend and started calling on female aides for their opinions more often. Now, at the end of his administration, there are more women in powerful positions in the White House than in 2009—nearly an even split with men.

It's a testament to how powerful women can be if we work together instead of competing, which frankly, Beyoncé has been trying to tell us for years.

Run away.

New study backs up revolutionary concept that couples who share chores have more sex.

A new study in the Journal of Marriage and Family is saying that couples who share the chores have more sex.

This study contradicts studies done as recently as 2012, which said couples have more sex when women are in charge of the chores, because gender roles are out, and sharing responsibilities with your significant other is in, baby!

No more of this crap, ladies.

Another study, done by The University of Alberta in 2015, had a similar outcome: "male-female couples had better and more frequent sex when men chipped in with the chores," according to the Huffington Post.

It makes a lot of sense. If you split the work load, you fight less and have more time to bone. Plus, no one is "in the mood" after having to clean someone else's pubes out of the drain.

Ew.

Photographer Albert Pocej's bold photo series shows 15 women's faces at the moment of orgasm.

Like many men before him, photographer Albert Pocej woke up from a dream about the female orgasm. But instead of confusion and a vague sense of shame, Pocej was inspired: his dream wasn't sexual, it was artistic, and he realized he wanted to do a photo series that depicted women "reaching the highest point of physical pleasure."

Sounding like Leonardo DiCaprio bragging to his friends, Pocej writes that "All participating models have experienced real orgasms," adding the crucial information "...during this photo project."

I didn't want this project to be a cliché, I didn’t want any acting – just the real feeling as it is. Every human being is different, so are their orgasms. I wasn’t trying to make it any better as it is in life. I wanted to make those looking at these pictures to think. And clichés don’t make people think.

Reaching out for models to participate in his idea, Pocej writes that he got mostly two responses: "no" and "silence."

This is shocking, of course, because most women dream of one day receiving an email from a man asking if he can take photos of her while she has an orgasm.

Eventually, Pocej did find 20 brave women, 15 of whom both stayed on when he explained that the orgasms would be real and managed to feel comfortable enough at the shoot to accomplish the goal.

As for the photo technique, Pocej writes he "sometimes...used time lapse photography," so he could keep the camera running while he left the room to give his subjects some semblance of privacy.

Check out more of the series below, and the full collection over Albert Pocej Photography.


Stephen King says Donald Trump's 'actually' the monster Cthulhu. Cthulhu's offended.

In a truly unfair insult to the toxic-tentacled Dark Lord Cthulhu,Stephen King tweeted the latest theory on what might be the real evil forces that inhabit Donald Trump.

Cthulhu, whose presidential run has barely been covered by the mainstream media, objected to this insulting comparison.

According to the evil monster concocted by H.P. Lovecraft (via the Twitter account @cthulhu4america),Trump is too "buffoonish" to even attempt to pull off a Cthulhu-level catastrophe.

It comes as no surprise as the election reaches maximum overdrive that rank partisans seeking the upper hand would think invoking my name is a needful thing. But their misery and desperation will secure no joyland from my campaign.

You will not find me giving pneumonia to small children or being an impulsive firestarter. Those are for the lesser evils to which I should never be compared. It is the end of watch for mankind and it is our aim to bury them in the dead zone.

The Cthulhu campaign's statement was packed with Stephen King references, using titles from his books including Maximum Overdrive, Misery, and Joyland. Plus the word "It" was definitely in there somewhere.

Cthulhu, drawn by Lovecraft himself.

This isn't the fist time Cthulhu has run for office. He ran for president of Poland, at least according to this campaign poster sporting the slogan, "Choose the greater evil," instead of the lesser of two evils.

He certainly shares Trump's posture.

While the part-man, part-monster lost the people of Poland, America just might be #ReadyForCthulhu.

'Girl Meets World' star Rowan Blanchard perfectly explains intersectional feminism. (She's 14.)

Rowan Blanchard is wise beyond her years. The 14-year-old star of the Disney Channel show, Girl Meets World, recently spoke to The Cut about the importance of intersectional feminism. Yeah, I'm impressed, too. Here's what she had to say:

“My first definition of feminism was so small: Men and women should be equal. And maybe that’s how you have to learn it, so that it can be more accessible. But then I started discovering Audre Lorde and Angela Davis and all of these intricacies of feminism that were not being presented to me by these white feminist ‘icons.’ It was only then that I realized how deep it is and how it’s more about undoing these walls that we have built around marginalized people — it’s not just about women and men. It’s the fact that the walls for me are different than the walls for Amandla [Stenberg].”

To reiterate: She is 14.

Blanchard goes on to say that her definition of feminism has broadened, and she now describes it as "undoing patriarchal structures against marginalized people." This includes women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, and people with disabilities.

There's no question that Blanchard is insanely smart, but she's not one to brag. "To say that I know everything about feminism would be the biggest lie!" she said. "It’s such a learning process and so much of it is listening.”

This girl is our new hero. Give her all of the awards.

Justin Timberlake is 'absolutely' willing to make sweet music with Britney Spears again.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake might be getting back together—in a strictly musical sense, of course. Brit recently said she'd like to collaborate with JT, who you may remember she dated from 1999 to 2002. Here, refresh your memory.

Before the VMAs, Spears participated in a Q&A and was asked who she wanted to work with. After mentioning Aerosmith and Gwen Stefani, she said of her former paramour: "Justin Timberlake is very good.”

And exciting news, internet! JT is game (reminder: this is for a platonic, musical collaboration). When told that Brit had requested to work with him, JT said he was surprised and onboard. "She did? Sure! Absolutely, absolutely," he told E! News. "I have a 17 month old so I don't get the headline news," he added. "I apologize for not being in the know… I'm accessible, give us a call!"

In regular human terms, this is kind of like when you reach out to your ex with a text just to say "sup?" and your ex texts back a week later: "Hi! yes, we should get a coffee sometime. Btw I'm married and have a baby."

It's not 1999 anymore and we all have to accept that and move on. Or wait until this Brit/JT single comes out and live in the past forever.

There's something suspicious about hipsters, and it's not just that they're wearing beanies in summer. Somehow, they have the luxury to sit in cafes in the middle of the afternoon with their brand new MacBook Airs over $13 acai bowls and complain that they are broke. How are they affording this stuff? They must have some special kind of math only hipsters can solve.

#TeacherBae gets slammed on social media for being too curvy for school.

Atlanta elementary school teacher Patrice Brown became the subject of a social media witch hunt after posting classroom photos of herself to Instagram. Her account has since been set to private after people complained that her curvy body was too "inappropriate" for school.

Won't someone think of the children??? Oh. She is.

Despite the fact that every outfit posted had her covered up from knee to neck, social media lit up.

Eesh, as if teaching a bunch of 9-year-olds wasn't hard enough. She can't help it if she has a curvy body—is she supposed to wear a sleeping bag to school everyday?

Brown addressed the issue with the Daily Dot, saying, "I just wish they would respect me and focus on the positive and what truly matters—which is educating the children of the future generations and providing and caring for them."

Fortunately, once the 4th grade teacher of the month began trending as #TeacherBae, many came to her defense, pointing out that curvy body types, especially for women of color, are routinely singled out for discrimination.

We stand with you, curvy teachers of America. Our children can learn a lot from you, including the bizarre notion that women have more value than their bodies.

Disney fans are going nuts over Emma Stone's Belle-inspired red carpet look.

We all secretly (or not so secretly) wish we could get away with wearing dresses like Disney princesses IRL, and Emma Stone has just opened the door for all of us. Stone was at the Toronto International Film Festival Tuesday night for a screening of her new movie, La La Land, wearing a gorgeous yellow dress that made her look just like Princess Belle.

We can't say for sure whether Stone's look was actually inspired by the iconic scene from Beauty and the Beast (you know, the one where Belle and the Beast share a romantic dance in a giant empty ballroom and discover their true feelings for each other), but it definitely looks like it could have been. (We're choosing to believe it was.)

In a new ad for British telecommunications company Three UK, Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams did a perfect parody of one of those cheesy celebrity makeup endorsement commercials. She bemoans the trauma of "black spots" (like pimples, but these spots are areas in which there's no cell phone service) but says she found a way to get rid of them by signing up for 4G service from Three.

Yeah, this is an ad, and no, we don't usually write about ads—we know nothing about this company, but we do know Williams nails this performance.

Apparently Bradley Cooper's idea of "land of the free" means free-balling. He explained to Ellen DeGeneres and her co-host for the day, First Lady Michelle Obama, that he went commando during his last visit to the White House.

He told Ellen and Michelle...

I had just done American Sniper, and I only had one tuxedo that didn't fit. I was so nervous that it would rip, so I decided at the last minute to eighty-six the underwear.

Ellen, thinking exactly what we're all thinking, responded...

Right, because if it should rip, it's much better to not have the underwear on.

And Michelle, proving she really is the First Lady of the people, responded...

For us! It's good for us, right ladies?

Yes Michelle, it's good for all of us, ladies and gentlemen.

Pet videos are the reason YouTube exists, right? Because they should be. They're a parade of hilarity and cuteness, and this dog scaring his bird-watching cat friends is yet another example of their viral reign.

At first the cats are just chilling, eyeing the chirping bird like it's a dancing piece of Meow Mix.

And then the puppy is all, "Hey guys, whatcha doin?"A sh*t storm of jumping kitties follows.

The puppy's response to their freakout? "Hey guys, where'd you go?"

Lil Wayne said racism doesn't exist but also that it does.

Rapper Lil Wayne gifted the media an amazing sound bite on Tuesday when the words "there's no such thing as racism" came out of his mouth during Fox Sports 1's Undisputed. Host Skip Bayless asked Wayne if the preponderance of white people at his concerts signified anything to him, and Wayne answered,

I don't want to be bashed because I don't want to sound like I'm on the wrong—if there is a side—but I thought that was clearly a message that there was no such thing as racism. That's what I thought that was. I thought that was a perfect example.

Wayne declined to discuss 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's recent refusal to stand during the singing of the National Anthem before games, saying he had no opinion on it and wasn't really sure what was going on. He also said that millennials aren't racist because racism isn't "cool" anymore, despite evidence to the contrary. He did admit, though, that his many "blessings," and not just the nonexistence of racism, may have something to do with his popularity with white people.

Bayless also asked Wayne the very "broad" question, "Where are we in the United States of America in race relations, what you see in from day to day in your life?" and Wayne responded,

Skip, they wouldn't want to ask me that, they wouldn't want my answer to represent it, because God knows I have been nothing but blessed. . . I have never, and never's a strong word, never dealt with racism and I'm glad I didn't have to. . . not only that I thought it was over, I still believe it's over, but obviously it isn't.

Hmm. So it doesn't exist…but also it does. Good thing all that lean Weezy drinks is not affecting his ability to think logically.

Anyway, once that sound bite was out, Twitter took it and ran.

But hang on, Wayne did seem to think racism existed four years ago when he couldn't get a seat at a Thunder game in Oklahoma City, telling The Associated Press he didn't feel welcome at the venue. Two Thunder players, Kevin Durant and James Harden, offered to help get him in, but Wayne explained:

That’s not the point, though. It’s the players stepping up but, of course, the players aren’t white. I don’t want to be sitting there on behalf of you and I’m sitting next to a (person) that’s like "I don’t want this (guy) sitting next to me." (Expletive) you … I’m in Forbes.

Here's the full clip from Undisputed, to put everything into context (but don't be disappointed when his words still don't seem to make much sense).

Chrissy Teigen starts Twitter firestorm after posting about 'Oriental dressing.'

$

Model Chrissy Teigen, whose mother is Thai, became embroiled in a huge debate on Tuesday over whether or not using the word "Oriental" in lieu of "Asian" is objectively offensive.

You would think that being half-Asian would make Teigen qualified to have an opinion over what derogatory words referring to Asians offend her personally, but apparently a lot of people on Twitter don't agree. She handled the madness with humor and grace, though—after all, her Twitter prowess is one of the reasons her husband, performer John Legend, fell in love with her.

It all started when she tweeted that she found it odd that a menu used the word "Oriental" to describe a type of salad dressing.

She clarified that she was not offended—just thought it was a little weird that a menu ostensibly printed sometime recently would use such an outdated word.

But then people got really upset that she wasn't offended and tried to explain to her why she should be. And, the internet being what it is, they weren't always particularly nice about it.

This is the part of the story where people imply that she's somehow not Asian enough to have an opinion.

Interesting logic: Teigen should stop talking about this Asian issue on Twitter because she…doesn't…talk enough about Asian issues? Okay.

The moral of the story is that the internet, while a powerful and invaluable tool, is also filled with argumentative people who just have to WIN. And the other moral is that Chrissy Teigen is a goddamn Twitter superstar.
